SUMMARY:Vancouver Hack Space - Repair an Adapted Toy night
DESCRIPTION:This is a night where we repair broken assistive technology to help give it a second life. There will primarily be switch adapted toys that aren’t working\, but may also trouble shoot other broken electronic items such as switches. \nSwitch adapted toys often cost $100 or more\, so by fixing the electronics\, you are supporting therapists and families with kids with disabilities in having the assistive devices they need to cognitive development\, play and communication. \nEvent is free to attend and open to the public.

SUMMARY:BCIT Additive Tech Conference
DESCRIPTION:Join us for this 2-day workshop presented by a cross-section of persons at the front-line of teaching and innovating with 3D printing in Assistive Technology\, Prosthetics & Orthotics (new window) to share their experiences and insights. \nPresenters range from end-users doing their own prints to educators grappling with how to include this in curriculum\, to persons engaged in bringing this technology to market or into clinical practices\, while navigating quality control and regulatory requirements. These front-line persons will discuss issues they faced\, how they solved problems and what opportunities and challenges they see in applying 3D printing to AT-P&O applications. Critically\, knowledge creation and educational support will be considered. Training of Clinical Professionals and Engineering rarely cross over formally in undergraduate education. A portion of time will be taken to consider how education will play a role in bridging existing gaps at the intersection where this innovation is taking place. \nMakers Making Change will present session on both days\, including a build of one of our open source joystick solutions\, as well as a design thinking jam session on various human interface to game controllers.

SUMMARY:September MMC Monthly Info Session
DESCRIPTION:Join us for our Makers Making Change Monthly Information Session! Our regional coordinators will introduce our Makers Making Change project and provide attendees with everything they need to know to be a part of this exciting project. This is a great opportunity to ask questions or to figure out how you want to get involved – whether it be to receive devices\, volunteer to build\, or whatever you think you can contribute! \nMakers Making Change is a project that connects people who could benefit from assistive devices with volunteer makers. Makers Making Change (MMC) is an innovative community-based initiative that connects makers to people with disabilities to create affordable open source assistive technologies. Makers Making Change utilizes emerging technology such as Arduino microcontrollers\, 3D printing and laser cutting. The project integrates the culture and communities that surround the open source movement\, the maker movement and the crowdsourcing movement.
